Info
Intra axial well-defined, space-occupying lesion (2.7 x 2.8 x 2.5 cm) in the right frontal lobe that displays typical popcorn appearance on T1 and T2WI with a marginal hypointense rim on T2 due to hemosiderin deposition. The lesion displays susceptibility artifact on T2* GRE. The lesion shows some post-contrast enhancement. A prominent cortical draining vein is seen in its vicinity. No surrounding edema.
The rest of the brain parenchyma is normal.
